C#

C#

8 years ago I started coding in C# right after I learned java. I created this code to create my own video games in the unity game engine. I have made 1 beta game, 1 published mobile game, and 1 work in progress virtual reality game. I have a great understanding in unity and other environments that use C#
C++

C++

I have been working with C++ my whole college career. I have recently written my own compiler using C++ and Yacc, and it is very versatile. I have also gotten the chance to create machine learning programs in C++ using Artificial Neural Networks, and convulsive networks . However, my most valued experience was creating a ray tracer and other graphic programs using C++. I have a good understanding in shaders, geometry, texture maps, normal maps, and transferable 3D objects.
Computer Programming

Computer Programming

I have been in the computer science field for 8 years. Along this journey I have learned C++, C#, Java, Javascript, Python, and HTML/CSS. I have a bachelors in computer science. I have created multiple different programs for myself, the college, and multiple different companies.

Graphic Design

Graphic Design

I have created ray tracing programs that handles reflections, diffuse color, specular color, ambient color, hard shadows, and animations. This program can also import materials including normals and diffuse textures that are already created. It can also import .obj files. I have a great understanding of light, normals, and shaders that helped me create such programs.

Adam, 2 lessons with Michael

Patient. Very Patient Tutor

My greatest comment to and about Michael was that he was patient. He asked all of the right questions about what I wanted to do. When I stumbled with my question he brought me back with the proper response. His tutoring was a great assistance to me. I will be hiring him again. Ted

What a great lesson!

Michael helped to get me unstuck on a part of CAD Sketcher that i could not figure out. He also gave me bunch of helpful tips and tricks.

Tim, 1 lesson with Michael

Excellent work, solved all my problems

I thought the problem was in the Blender model but he found the setting in Unity to fix it. His knowledge saved me a lot of time. I would definitely use him again if I have a Blender to Unity problem

Brett, 1 lesson with Michael

patient and helpful.

Michael did a great job of explaining things on a basic level, and was extremely patient and answering questions and giving detail on answers. Highly recommended.

Rob, 1 lesson with Michael

excellent tutor

Michael was very clear and patient with me, I will be working with him again in the future!! Definitely recommend him if you need someone to be thorough with explanations and instructions

Misley, 1 lesson with Michael

Knowledgeable and Patient Instructor

He has greatly helped me out with my VR projects. From creating a 3D menu to creating shaders, he explains concepts really well and takes time to make sure you understand. He's also willing to slow down and help you catch up if you are falling behind. He's a great instructor who goes the extra 10-15 minutes to help you solve your problem if it wasn't done within the time limit. Highly recommend him.

Shahrayar, 4 lessons with Michael

Excellent

My daughter says she can tell he explains well and is very knowledgeable just after one lesson. She went through different coding tutors before. We scheduled regular classes with him righty away.

Eunice, 1 lesson with Michael

help with my beginner C++ class

Michael has been very helpful and professional during our tutor sessions and was able to explain the lessons clearly. I have gained a stronger grasp in C++ programming thanks to Michael.

Jon, 7 lessons with Michael

beginner lessons in Blender 3D

Working on lighting, texturing, and learning the whole scope of applying textures. Very patient, Michael really knows the app well, especially for my needs which are modeling and texturing. So I was very pleased to have found a good teacher for this.
